BEST TIPS I’VE EVER READ, LEGIT

(Source: jonathanforhire)

STYLE IS THE IMAGE OF CHARACTER.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

Yesterday my best friend of 27 years (yes, we go waaaaay back) texted these pics of her with the Time Out Mag I sent her in the mail. She seems more excited that I did! I think it’s cuz she thinks that once I hit it big time, she will quit her job and become my assistant. But I’ve already fired her. Ha!

And one more pic from the mag. In my haste to turn to page 23, I didn’t even know I was on the Table of Contents page until 3 days later. I’m a mess! 

P.S.- I just checked the rest of the mag to make sure I didn’t miss anthing else!

Love. Them.

It was a pleasure working with the Forecast.tv team as they followed myself and Travis around this past NYFW - view the video piece. We definitely had a great time during the week and its awesome that we can look back at it here. 

This weekend I received a printed copy of my Time Out NY Magazine feature in the mail. I was so surprised that I got the whole page to myself!!! Usually they create a collage of all the people they feature and make it a 2 page spread. But they only featured me, which was odd but wow! I’m loving it! Forever excited and grateful.

Now I have to run and buy like 5 copies and send them to my family and frame this one!

Found this while searching “Nakimuli” tags on tumblr. We are international! Dope.

Nakimuli featured in a Tanzanian magazine… Shear April/May 2011 Issue

This week has been insane! Between Eva wearing the coat, the Time Out NY spread, the overwhelming orders, and emails of future promise, I am exhausted but excited about life right now. And to top it off, I had the BEST Valentine’s Day in a very long while. Funny, it had nothing to do with a dude. On V-Day, I was able to go to 2 couture fashion shows!

Now I’m not one of those people who flocks to Fashion Week every season to be seen. I’m not sure what the purpose is if I’m not going to see any shows. And I’m not that much of a celeb stalker to go just to see them. This was actually my first time at the tents. And I was invited to 2 shows, which fulfilled a big dream of mine. It was so much fun! And very inspiring.

My outfit. I hate taking pics like this but I can’t find the piece that goes onto my tripod. Smh.

Went with my friend/ex-work husband Damion. I got a lot going on! And he balances it out by being simple yet chic. Love this man. 

The 1st show we went to see was Naeem Khan. My girl Amina invited me without knowing how much I love his work. We sat like 5 rows up. Boooo!

The second show we saw was Dennis Basso.

And we sat 2nd row! Holla!

And when I got home, this waiting for me by my door.

My mom gave me a bag full of junk food goodies. :)

The best Valentine’s Day ever!

So happy this posted during Fashion Week. Back in October 2011, we shot this photo shoot naming me as one of Time Out NY’s Most Stylish New Yorkers. I always wanted to be named and when I got the email from them, I was shocked. A dream come true!

Here are a couple of pics from the shoot. Of course I am rocking Nakimuli in every look. You can see more here:

This week keeps getting better…more info on my other lovely blessings shortly.
